What if you could go and a rent physical DVDs
Best date nights always started with a trip to Blockbuster.
I remember renting an N64 with Majora's mask and pulling an all-nighter so I could finish it during the two-day rental period. It was a good time to be alive.
It’s so weird how we look back on those things that were seen as inconveniences, driving to a physical store / rental time limits, as good things now.
It’ll be interesting to see if we find ways to kinda bridge those gaps.
Remember when you got to choose what you watch and you had to pick up a remote and look at it on a rectangle?
-Future us, maybe
I remember when you couldn't choose what to watch except for a handful of options, and you had to show up at the right time to watch what you chose. And there was no option to avoid ads.
I didn't expect to be doing the old man routine in my mid 40s, but here we are.
